After installing VISTA on the 23rd - -- nothing but problems. Thought they'd be workable but it's gotten worse. So my husband MAY overwrite it with XP (as MS has it so one CAN'T uninstall it!).
Yesterday & today after trying to open 2 programs used regularly -- we get the message -- "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event LOG for more detail." Worked fine yesterday. Did nothing different since yesterday. Today we get that OBSURE message today twice (so far) without knowing the cause or how to fix it. But VISTA doesn't say how to find this "event log" or what it is. Grrrrrrrrrrr. Being a principal software engineer (my husband) and working with computers at work (engineering) and at home AND having worked with every operating system out there for 37 yrs (even Unix/Linux) he's beyond frustrated. Seems VISTA takes more managability over one's system away from you. Very UNCOOL! Anyone else having probs? Lori
